please elaborate...the DOJ actually came after him for perjury. he must have been into some serious shit to have this happen...
so he tried to purchase a firearm legally..checked NO...they denied him AND arrested and charged him??
Not sure why this is such a shock. They're enforcing federal law that has been in place for decades. All of you gun owners (myself included) broke the law when you signed the form to get your license and asserted that you do not use illegal drugs of any kind. That's the bottom line. Yes, it sucks, no, I don't agree with it since the requirements for a firearm license do not preclude applicants from drinking liquor, but them's the breaks. Just playing devil's advocate here, don't shoot the messenger.

It's just getting tougher to be honest anymore
Good luck getting any response from the Gun Lobby. They keep a healthy distance from our little sub-culture here.
Also, I will go down in a blaze of glory before I surrender my guns.
This should infuriate the gun lobby. If the NRA doesn't act against this I'd be shocked and very dismayed.
if they dont do anything then you will know that soon itll be illegal for anyone to have a gun... its a slippery slope, if they allow this to fly soon theyll find another reason for some other group to not be allowed with them.... then another.... then another... till no one has any guns.
What in the world made you think our government has EVER valued honesty?
dont follow this advice...
i watched my brother do 5 calendar in the fed @ yazoo for checking the wrong box.
he never even received a firearm!!!
picked him up 5 years later on some unrelated shit and had a federal o.t.t.i.c.

Thank you for contacting NRA-I.A
FFL holders have long been unable to sell to individuals who are users of marijuana.
There are no exceptions in federal law for marijuana purportedly used for medical purposes, even if such use is sanctioned by state law.
Federal law prohibits individuals from owning firearms if they are an unlawful user as drugs. As long as medical marijuana is illegal on a federal level, individuals who choose to use it cannot own firearms.
